In most years adding a Brandon Bolden to your fantasy roster would be a no-brainer but it isn’t that simple.
Analysis: Brandon Bolden has carried the rock 30 times for 191 rushing yards over the past two weeks. That is 15 carries per game but there are plenty of reasons why his touches may drop off in the coming weeks. Aaron Hernandez is close to game action and his involvement in the New England offense cannot be underestimated. Hernandez is a near elite weapon and add him to Welker, Lloyd and Gronkowski and there are only so many touches Bolden will receive. We must also consider that feature back Stevan Ridley is the Patriot workhorse and it doesn’t appear that his carries will be the first to go.
Bolden is available in seventy percent of leagues but his role in the Patriot offense is extremely uncertain. It makes the most sense to sell high and try to trade Bolden while his value is still high. His fantasy stock isn’t going to increase much more than it is at the moment yet in a week it could all be gone.
